A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

There was a referendum to tax the rich in Illinois and it fucking failed, by a lot. We don't live in a liberal country. We live in a center-right country with strong far right tendencies.

It’s clearly too much for you to handle.

Can we pump up the bullying just enough for the americans to finally start using words they way the don't completely contradict their actual globally-acknowledged meaning?

Euros use it the same way, liberals have always obscured the specificity of liberalism.

[–] realworldschlitz@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds more like you are obscured more than others.

I don't think you know what you're saying to be honest.

“Liberal” as in you’re in a different world that can’t see straight and words make you very slow…

Orioler as in???

Big L Liberal, if it has to be specified. I'm speaking from an amerocentric perspective. Not talking about liberalism the philosophical concept.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

It should be specified, because your use here matches neither of those.
